Provided is a lens module having a lens drive mechanism having a simple structure which can stabilize the shift speed of an optical lens. The lens module has a structure wherein a lens holder (6), on which a moving body (5) that can be attracted to a magnet (4) is mounted and the optical lens not shown in a figure is to be mounted, is mounted on a housing (7) by using a guide pin (8), one side of a piezoelectric ceramic element (3) in a displacement generating direction (longitudinal direction) is bonded to the magnet (4), the other side is bonded to the housing (7), and the moving body (5) and the magnet (4) are attracted by a magnetic force. The lens holder (6) supporting the moving body (5) is supported by the guide pin (8) in a manner that the lens holder can be shifted. A lens driving mechanism has the magnetization direction of the magnet (4) in the radius direction of the optical lens by permitting the magnetization direction to substantially orthogonally intersect with the optical axis direction of the optical lens. The lens module is provided with the lens drive mechanism which vibrates the magnet (4) by vibration generated by a piezoelectric ceramic element (3), and shifts the lens holder (6) along an optical axis direction by driving the moving body (5) by using the vibration of the magnet (4) as a driving force.
